2 | A story with Billy Bones
Ah, you want to dive into the world of pirate adventures! Welcome to the “Admiral Benbow” tavern, where the old sailor Billy Bones spends his days sipping rum. Will you go inside or watch from outside?
3 | Drink his rum
You see Billy Bones sitting at a far table, a bottle of rum in front of him. He looks fierce and constantly glances at the door. It seems he's hiding something. Dare to approach him or try to stealthily steal his rum?
4 | Walk up and brazenly drink the whole bottle in front of him
“Damn you!” - roars Billy Bones, jumping up from his chair. His face turns red with rage, and his hand reaches for his saber. “Do you even know who I am, you whelp?!” The other tavern patrons freeze in tension. What will you do?
5 | Say I don't know and slowly drink from the neck of a second bottle
“DEVIL!” - Billy Bones draws his saber and lunges at you. The tavern keeper hides in terror behind the counter. Several sailors jumped up from their seats - some in fear, some in anticipation of a fight. What will you do?
6 | I'll drink from the neck of a third bottle
“ARGH!” - Billy swings his saber in fury, but suddenly clutches his heart and falls to the floor. It seems such audacity gave him a heart attack! Something rustled in his coat… Perhaps that map? Will you check?
7 | I'll drink a fourth bottle
While you reach for the next bottle, two pirates with a black spot burst into the tavern! They're looking for Billy… but they only find his body and you, brazenly drinking their rum. Their faces twist with anger. What next?
8 | I'll drink a fifth
“It's Drunken Joe!” - whispers one pirate to the other in terror. They slowly back toward the exit - your reputation clearly precedes you. Billy Bones' map is still in his coat. Take it or finish the last bottle?
9 | Both
While the pirates flee in fear, you pull out the map and, swaying, unfold it, spilling rum on the parchment. Through the drunken haze, you see the mark “Treasure Island”! How will you get there in this state?
10 | Easy!
Staggering, you leave the tavern toward the docks. Before you are three ships: a luxurious merchant galleon, a fast sloop, and an old fishing boat. The sailors watch your approach in shock. Which ship will you choose?
11 | I'll choose all of them!
“By the devil, he's stealing the whole port!” - they shout from the shore. Somehow you manage to tie the sloop and boat to the galleon with ropes. This incredible sea train slowly sails out of the harbor. Where shall we set course?
12 | Forward to the moon!
“He's completely lost his mind!” - the sailors shout, watching you try to steer your unusual caravan straight toward the moon. Suddenly, a giant kraken emerges from the water, intrigued by your strange fleet. Your actions?
13 | Offer him some rum
The kraken blinks its enormous eyes in surprise when you offer it a bottle. Suddenly, its tentacles form something like a glass! It seems you've gained a drinking buddy the size of an island. What will you discuss with it?
14 | Scratch him behind the ear
The giant kraken purrs like a kitten with pleasure, creating waves across the entire ocean! It's so relaxed that it offers to carry your fleet wherever you say, using its tentacles as sails. Where shall we sail?
15 | To Treasure Island!
“Blub-blub!” - the tipsy kraken cheerfully agrees and turns toward the island. On the horizon, a sinister silhouette appears: palm trees, skull-shaped rocks, and… what's this? An entire armada of pirate ships at the shore!
16 | Attack the ships!
The kraken with a battle cry of “BLUB!” spins your ship-train like a giant sling! The pirate ships panic: “It's mad Drunken Joe with a kraken!” Cannonballs fly your way. How will you attack: with bottles or ship cannons?
17 | With everything!
“FOR RUM AND GLORY!” - you shout, launching empty bottles from the cannons! The kraken swings the ships around, crushing the enemy fleet. The pirates jump overboard in terror. The island is now yours! But where is the treasure hidden?
18 | Douse everything in rum and set it on fire. The island burns down - the treasure remains
“Brilliant!” - hiccups the kraken, dousing the island with the last rum supplies. You throw a lit match… BOOM! The earth melts, and from beneath it emerges… A GOLDEN UNDERWATER PALACE! The kraken is thrilled! Shall we go inside?
19 | Of course! What if there's more rum there?
The kraken breaks through the entrance to the palace. In the throne room, you see a GIANT barrel labeled “Royal Rum - aged 1000 years”. Nearby are chests of gold, but who cares about those? The kraken is already extending its tentacle-glass!
20 | Let's try it, dear kraken
You and the kraken open the barrel… A golden glow bursts out! This isn't just rum - it's THE LEGENDARY DRINK OF THE GODS! With each sip, you start to glow and float in the water. The kraken is also shining in all the colors of the rainbow!
21 | What's your name, kraken?
“Blub-Johnny!” - bubbles the tipsy kraken, taking another sip of divine rum. “I used to be an ordinary pirate, but I drank cursed rum and turned into a kraken… But with you, friend, I don't regret it at all!”
22 | Cursed rum?
“Yep!” - winks Blub-Johnny. “The same one you drank at Billy Bones'! Look…” And indeed - your hands begin to transform into tentacles! The kraken laughs joyfully: “Welcome to the family, brother-kraken!”
23 | Damn, what was the incubation period?
“Six bottles!” - giggles Blub-Johnny. “You beat my record - I transformed after five! Look, you already have a tail growing!” Behind your back, a purple tentacle is indeed writhing. “But don't worry, reverse transformation is possible…”
24 | Is there an antidote or vaccine?
“The only antidote is…” - Blub-Johnny pauses dramatically, creating bubbles - “NON-ALCOHOLIC RUM! But you have to search for it in the most terrifying place - in the teetotalers' tavern at the edge of the world. Will you risk it?”
25 | The teetotalers' tavern???
“BLUUUB!” - shudders Blub-Johnny. “Yes, it's a frightening place! They drink… herbal tea and smoothies!” the kraken crosses itself with its tentacles “But even scarier is their leader - Captain Detox, a former pirate who found zen and yoga!”
26 | Yes, reality is sometimes crazier than the wildest fantasies)
“Tell me about it!” - sighs Blub-Johnny. “So, friend, you choose: either become a sea monster and rule the oceans with me, or we go meet these… shudders …healthy lifestyle fanatics!”
27 | Healthy lifestyle is nonsense
“THAT'S OUR MAN!” - roars Blub-Johnny joyfully, hugging you with his tentacles. “Now there's two of us! Shall we cause some sea mayhem? I hear there's a Spanish fleet transporting gold nearby… winks with all his eyes”
28 | Is there a lot of gold there? What's the *hic* historiographical background?
“The story is… hic According to secret intel from a spy octopus, there are TWO HUNDRED barrels of gold and… tentacle drum roll A CELLAR OF ROYAL SHERRY! They say Charles V himself collected it!”
29 | Why? It should have been drunk!
“EXACTLY!” - thunders Blub-Johnny. “That's a CRIME against rum! We must urgently rescue the sherry from captivity! pulls out a pirate tricorn Besides, I have a plan: I distract the guards with a flamenco dance, and you…”
30 | Do you really think the guards will mistake you for Spanish dancers in a designer skirt?
“Why not? twirls in the skirt Look how it suits me! Plus, I've learned three words in Spanish: 'Hola', 'Amigo', and 'Tequila'!” - Blub-Johnny proudly adjusts the castanets on his tentacles. “Or do you have a better idea?”
31 | Build a wall with Mexico?
Blub-Johnny chokes on his rum laughing: “You're a politician! hic But I have a better idea - let's build a wall of EMPTY BOTTLES around their ships! But first, we need to empty the bottles… winks Shall we get to work?”
32 | The sooner we sit down, the sooner we...
“…DRINK!” - finishes Blub-Johnny, pulling out a new bottle. “By the way, I've been thinking… thoughtfully twirls a tentacle Maybe we should open the world's first underwater bar? Let's call it 'The Two Drunken Krakens'!”
33 | Sounds like a plan!
“To the success of our hopeless endeavor!” - raises his tentacle-glass Blub-Johnny. “I can already see the sign: 'Best octopus appetizers with rum in the ocean! Signature cocktail 'Kraken-shake'! And on Fridays - karaoke with the sirens!'”
34 | Mañana!
“¡Mañana!” - bubbles Blub-Johnny happily, dancing salsa with all his tentacles. “But you know what? To hell with mañana! Let's do it right now! That coral reef over there is empty… pulls out an underwater hammer Shall we start building?”
